Hi everyone, I am Diane and live in the very lovely Sth Island of New Zealand - I have recently switched to a Pentax Kr very kindly loaned to me by a good friend while I save to purchase probably a lovely blue K30 - which may be in the New Year? I have been a long time Canon user, but felt I needed a step up camera that will challenge me and get me right out of my comfort zone
My friend who loaned me his camera has also offered to loan me his wonderful lenses so that was another temptation to switch brands
I absolutely love taking photos, anything from my three teenagers and their friends, to still life, landscape, macro - but I am just learning and practising - it is indeed a passion, and I intend to follow it and grow along the way. I had hit a bit of a woe is me time in my life, and to discover my old love of taking photos has reignited a fire in me that I am so loving - so thanks for having me and I am so looking forward to being a part of this community as I soak up some learning !
